[![Hexo version](https://img.shields.io/badge/hexo-3.8.0-brightgreen.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hexo)

Forked from GitLab's [Hexo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hexo) example with [Typing](https://github.com/geekplux/hexo-theme-typing) theme.

## Installation

> Refer to [this post](https://curben.netlify.com/2018/09/21/how-to-create-a-hexo-blog/) for more detailed instruction.

1. Change `<folder>` to a preferred name.
```bash
git clone https://gitlab.com/curben/blog <folder>
```
2. Install Node.js.
```bash
# Ubuntu 16.04 or newer
$ sudo snap install node --classic --channel=10
# Debian
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
# Fedora 29
$ sudo dnf install npm
# Fedora 28 or older
$ curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo bash -
$ sudo yum -y install nodejs
# Arch Linux
$ sudo pacman -S npm
```
3. Install Hexo and its dependencies (defined in [package.json](package.json)). `hexo-cli` installation step can be skipped if you use [this shortcut](https://curben.netlify.com/2018/10/24/running-locally-installed-node-packages/#Method-1).
```bash
$ sudo npm install -g hexo-cli
$ cd <folder>
$ npm install --only=prod
```
4. Generate static files to check for any error. You should _always_ do this before pushing/merging commits to the `master` branch.
```bash
$ hexo generate
```

## Quick Start

## Changes
The following are the major changes I made compared to the upstream.

### [Hexo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hexo) site
- Update [.gitlab-ci.yml](.gitlab-ci.yml) to use the latest version of [Node.js](https://hub.docker.com/_/node/) in Alpine docker image.
- Update [package.json](package.json) to use latest version of [hexo](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hexo) and its related packages.
- Replace the bundled Landscape theme with Typing theme.
- [Pre-compressed](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/introduction.html#serving-compressed-assets) the assets using [hexo-yam](https://github.com/weyusi/hexo-yam).

### [Typing](https://github.com/geekplux/hexo-theme-typing) theme
- Homepage shows index of posts.
- Remove header and footer display (except for `/about` page).

- Remove web analytics, comment systems and donation links.
- Use more [relative length](https://www.w3schools.com/CSSref/css_units.asp), instead of absolute length in the css.
